When I try to open Word 2003, the icon appears in the task bar at the bottom
of the screen, but no window appears with Word opened. It doesn't matter if
I try to open a word document from My Docs, or open Word first. Excel works
fine.

I ran all my anti-virus software, restored to an earlier date, and even
uninstalled and reinstalled the Office program.

I'm looking for some guidance on how to fix the problem.

If you right-click on the Taskbar button, what options are enabled on the
menu?
